Default How are your tires in the snow

Well its here. How much snow did everyone get last night and today? We have about 8 inches here.I had the tire pressure at 30psi and holy crap they sucked today, I lowered the psi down to 25 and will have to test tommorow to see how it performs. Although it is very heavy wet snow, so it might not be a good day to judge the tires.

No snow to really speak of here. Last year my tires did very well in the snow. Just stock Rubi tires. We got alot of snow last year, too.

Go as low as 20 PSi in the deep stuff. 25 PSi on an MT should be just about perfect in regular snow and ice.

30 + PSi in snow will just be like a skateboard wheel.

My MT's are at 25-ish and they are awesome in the snow, its like there is none there....nice dry road.

6ft, that sounds like a light dusting.

We had over 13ft here in Ottawa.


Was I ever glad to have the JK.
